Isn't Conservatism about, well, Conserving, preserving the past, keeping it alive today?
About the only thing the GOP is preserving is the Bipolar Treatment Industry squeezed through a Multiple Personality Disorder filter.
Same thing they did with the Bushes - even Reagan screwed him, as the rest of the base did in '92, then they went on the praise Jr for being like his daddy. Then they farted on Jeb.
Same with Romney, OOOH! He's bad, grrrr grrrr - which is why they made him their Presidential candidate in 2012.
Republicans are such backstabbing two-facers, it's like they're all Mafia busted at an Atlantic City convention with their diaries and are facing the next 40 at Rikers. They probably even steal their own granny's Social Security check too.
